I still think we spent less bandwidth on this topic without the tagline
being added to every message, and it's very easy to simply reply to each
'better idiot' with <the tagline> instead of insulting curious better idiots
with our 'wit', then beating the issue to death here on the list.

Are YOU always intimately aware of how to unsubscribe from every list you
find YOURself on?

Have a nice weekend, y'all!
